Message: [QUOTE="superjohn, post: 4664275, member: 1522"] I agree with that, the move is 100% about money. The Big 12 is slightly better than the Big East at the moment in basketball, I have them #1 and #2 but the Big East is the best place for UConn basketball for right now. With a move we would remain really good/great in basketball but the travel, being the geographic and cultural outlier, and being in a conference run by Texas and Kansas would hurt us a bit in basketball. A lot of these schools are kind of also rans in their own states but there's no denying they are really good in sports at the moment. They do have big fanbases but they aren't appealing enough for the Big 10 and Big 12 to pick them off. The schools being second tier is actually something that works in their favor in terms of conference stability. It seems like Yormark is an outside the box thinker, I'm interested in how this all plays out. [/QUOTE]
